Naseeruddin Shah might write handbook for training young actors

Naseeruddin Shah, one of India's finest actors, says he might write a handbook for training young actors.

The veteran actor, who did not have an amicable relationship with his father, said his brothers had anxieties that the actor would launch a tirade against him, but their fears evaporated after reading it.

Naseeruddin Shah, one of India’s finest actors, says he might write a handbook for training young actors.

The ‘Finding Fanny’ star, who was here to attend an event organised to celebrate the success of his book ‘And Then One Day – A Memoir’, said training given to amateur actors in India is wrong and harmful.

“I have been wanting to write a handbook for training of actors… I am not good at writing fiction. So, I probably stick to non-fiction. My book will be on how to train yourself as an actor.

“Because most of the training given to actors in India I think is quite wrong and some of it is very harmful. I have seen a lot of acting schools in Delhi and Mumbai, and the way they conduct their classes. I don’t agree with that way of training actors,” he said.
